Hear Poirier's Sizzling Collaboration With NYC Dancehall Legend Red Fox "Jump"

For the last 15 years, Montreal DJ and producer Poirier (a.k.a. Ghislain Poirier) has made a name for himself making bass-heavy, dancefloor anthems that draw on grime, soca, and other worldly influences. He's put out records on noteworthy labels like Mixpak and Ninja Tune, and collaborated with artists including Crookers, dj/rupture, Face-T, and Natalie Storm.

Now he's back with a brand new 7" on London-based NICE UP! Records, "Jump," which will also appear on his forthcoming album Migration (due out March 4). "I wanted to reference the 90s dancehall vibe, but with a modern feel of my own," says Poirier of the high-energy track featuring the veteran Jamaican artist. "After I'd made the beat, Red Fox instantly came to my mind—because he IS that sound, that voice!"
